Short, interpretative, absurd. for people who like thinkijg hard about what the hell the author means by what theyre writing. Camus made alot of sense in the book, he sensed like he had never sensed before
i’ve been really trying to read the classics this year! a short classic that can easily be done in one sitting is “the stranger”, it was profound for its time and is only 144 pages long. i actually haven’t finished it in one sitting yet to be honest, but i'm trying to get back into reading so i haven’t found the proper time to give it my full attention… but im sure someone else totally could! i’m just not quite there yet…
I bought it when I was visiting my little brother in Paris and it was really crazy. When you start reading it you think he's just trying to be extreme for the sake of it, of disgusting you for no reason but to provoke a reaction. Then after a while you get into it and it becomes beautifully poetic and it feels pure.
If you hate overly contextualised author-focused analysis, and analysis focused on “deep” readings, Deleuze’s readings of literature such as the work of Sacher-Masoch, Proust and Kafka will be a breath of fresh air. His essay on Sacher-Masoch ‘Masochism: Coldness and Cruelty’ changed everything for me, and I really enjoy his book ‘Essays: critical and clinical‘ as well. Sometimes the person who best knows how to read a book is a philosopher lol.
